On my system I have already been playing for a month or so and know it says that I have an error with playstation network have any ideas why

I've seen this A LOT posted on other gaming websites this evening. It seems that Sony is updating the Playstation Network, because everyone is having trouble connecting. So, don't worry vendeta, I'm sure it will be working pretty soon. Hope that helps.

Ethan, have you set up internet connection sharing on your computer? If not you'll need to do this for that to work. A quick search via Google will find you instructions on doing this for your particular operating system.

I have tried your sharing internet idea. Checking the box in control panel. But now, i try to connect to the internet with my computer, and the gateway has shutdown. I have tried restarting and everything. Please note: I can not connect to the modem manually through the ps3. the system is downstairs and the server is upstairs.

Thank you for your help, I'd like to get this working!

Is there any such thing as a wireless ethernet cable? That might work...

Dear god squad I am having trouble connecting to playstation network i am using a BT home hub and connecting wirelessly. sometimes when i sign in i will be able to play the games online and the connection will be fine, but this dosnt always happen somtimes i can play for around 3-4 minuets and then i get one of three error messages. An error has occured (with an error code), you have been singed out of playstation network or the connection with playstation network timed out. i have tried turning off the media server and have restored the default settings.

No, your log in here has nothing to do with the actual PlayStation Network.

Go to the Friends menu of the PS3 and you should see something called "sign up for the playstation network". Go here to set yourself up for the network. It just takes a few minutes. :)

hey, i cant find what you are talking about here ^. Maybe i am just blind but i cant see it.:confused: ..... also, it says im connected to the internet, and i can go online/search/browse...but i cant connect to the Playstation Network? Does my playstation hate me or something?

You aren't able to log into PSN because it is down at the moment. Sony shut it down after a rather serious attempt at hacking into some sensitive areas. We're updating things as Sony puts out more info in the announcement stuck at the top of each section.
